my path to heaven - winter

my path to heaven began –
light through a window
my eyes are raised
my heart is drawn
there is more than me –
there has to be…
answers stream
comfort beams
for all the children
belong to God
He has come to redeem.

Jesus called the children to him and said,
 "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them,
for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these."
Luke 18:16

circumstance comes to dance - winter

You've given me voice
how can I not rejoice?
Circumstance
comes to dance
through the pen
so praise
may rise again
from either thought 
or situation
Your desire
be my dictation. 
Amen

where I've stood - winter

where I've stood
and where I stand
footprints left upon the sand
where with the tide be swept away
and never known a later day
but where I land is solid ground
the light of Jesus all around
and in the end no feet
can leave
no greater mark
than the Eternal
to Whom I cleave

sweep over me sweet Jesus - winter

begin sweet Jesus
to sweep over me
like the changing of the seasons
like the waves upon the sea
move through my emotions
You will bring
the newness of Your saving grace
the freshness of a spring
come to us 
though we be still
and carry us
into Your will
taken away
with loving care
swept up in Your Spirit
my deliverance
there

Never Be Out of His Care - winter

In the season of changes
we may feel neither here nor there,
looking for meaning as life rearranges
in ways that we hadn't prepared.
This is when faith is a constant companion
and the Lord keeps our souls aware
that He's always leading us by the hand
and we'll never be out of His care.

When the Heart is Full - Christmas


When the heart is full
what else can there be?
No room in the inn
but Christ still came
for we
who opened our hearts
and treasured that He
would be our all in all.
Born of the Spirit
living still
our hearts to fill
with peace and goodwill
as the angels foretold
there'll be nothing less
in hearts full of Christ-
oh blessedness...

2 Timothy 1:9-10 This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.
